  • The Bench by Brenton Kniess
    26 May. 2023

  • Momentary by Adian Chapman
    25 May. 2023
    “ I find this short play so very sad, but very realistic. I wanted Jessa to run down the street at the end, but would she find Harry? Is there any hope anyway without good counseling? The dialogue is real and painful and one's heart aches for Harry to find some happiness...any happiness. ”
  • A Monogamy of Swans by John Minigan
    23 May. 2023
    “ This play is really not about swans...well they are in it, but the real themes are about love and friendship and rescue. And it is site specific which is so fun, especially if you've been to Boston's Public Garden. Have a listen at Gather By the Ghost Light podcast where ever you listen.to podcasts. ”
  • Moving Day by Marilyn Ollett
    19 May. 2023
    “ Sometimes people just have enough. That's Edie in Ollett's play about living too long and suffering too much. There is an interesting in the middle of the piece which takes us in a new direction. Sad but truthful piece. ”
  • Come Dawn by Ron Capps
    15 May. 2023
    “ COME DAWN is a little bit of wartime history...the story of a young man stressed out by the war and running away from a battle. It reinforces the futility and horrors of war as the fight between the Ukraine and Russia goes on. ”

  • Canine Confidential by Katherine H. Vellis
    11 May. 2023
    “ Canine Confidential is a delightful short short. Haven't we all wanted to be "picked" in our life time? Mutt and Pedigree are desperate to find a fur-ever home. When they finally team up, everything looks hopeful. ”
  • A Teddy Bear Named Norbert (a short Christmas play) by Enid Cokinos

  • Three Husbands (MONOLOGUE) by Paul Donnelly
    5 May. 2023
    “ This is a true to life monologue. Monica has been through some not so fun or nice relationships, but when she finds her third, it's golden. And then,,,and then. This monologue is sensitively written and will make you catch your breath when you least expect it. ”
  • Angel by Bethany Dickens Assaf
    5 May. 2023
    “ Oh how characters fight with playwrights, especially when they've outgrown their time. It's a new world. Angel doesn't get it and loses her hold on Tom.. But will Bethany be the death of Tom? ”
